The two remaining large Monkey Modern paintings will be sold at next weekend’s Small Feats fundraiser. Hoolock and White Uakari will sell for $800 each, with the proceeds being split between the Niagara Artists Centre and the artist.

Small Feats is NAC’s spring coming out party, an art sale like no other. Small Feats features over 150 pieces 12″x12″ artworks selling for $200 each. The proceeds are split between NAC and the artists. Art lovers stream through the doors and smartly-attired volunteers (myself and Christine included!) ring in the sales.

New to the event this year are Tiny Feats @ $100 (less than a square foot) and Big Feats @ $800 (way bigger than a square foot)!

This new painting has the longest title I’ve ever given a painting: Bush Party (No matter what else happens, that table is getting burnt at the end of the night).

It’s a commission for a couple in British Columbia. I love the way the colours are brawling on the canvas for dominance. It was difficult to paint and nearly impossible to document, but here’s a photo that sort of captures its energy.
